What is Sound Decisions?
A personalized consulting business primarily working with youth in their educational goal development, self confidence, and their likely vocation targets.
What is Strategic College Search?
A coaching program that combines our expert advice with practical involvement from the high school student & parent. With today's incredible financial resources, our belief is that no parent should ever say "I wish I could afford" to send my child to college. Economic trends demonstrate that you cannot afford to miss the jump in earning potential that your student will secure by extending their education. We often recommend Bachelor's Degrees @ four year universities, and we emphasize the benefits of Private Institutions because of their final cost / value. Our SCS coaching strategy will maximize your college options!
Who is behind it?
Charles Ezell is a parent with 2 currently enrolled college students. As a high school student void of common career insights, he leveraged his job at a local grocery store to earn scholarships and gain exposure to an economic world his family had never known. His first solo transport through the murky waters of college financial aid began at 16. Charles completed his Bachelor's Degree in Business-Marketing, sourced 100% from scholarships, periodic jobs, and private & federal funding. By many accounts, he had more reasons to fail than succeed in this unknown territory. Since his graduation in 1987, he has had an exciting career with Fortune 100 General Mills Inc., using his teaching, planning, and execution talents. Separately, through Sound Decisions, he has coached numerous families to stretch themselves to the highest possible education personally available to them.
